Photos from the Ann Arbor Dance Classics rehearsal of the Nutcracker on Saturday December 14, 2013 at Milan High School (Saline, Michigan). This is only from the second act because I was on stage for the first act. The performance is 2pm on Sunday December 15, 2013. The Nutcracker was Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The Bentley Speed Six was introduced in 1928[10] as a more sporting version of the Bentley 6½ Litre.[8] With a single-port block, two SU carburettors,[5][10] a high-performance camshaft,[12] and a compression ratio of 5.3:1, the Speed Six's engine produced 180 hp (130 kW) at 3500 rpm.[10] The Speed Six was available to customers with wheelbases of 138 inches (3,505 mm),[13] 140.5 inches (3,569 mm), and 152.5 inches (3,874 mm),[10] with the 138 inch wheelbase being most popular.[13]
The model was available as a road car for everyday use. Barnato 's personal Speed Sixes had bespoke bodywork by various coachbuilders, and the Criminal Investigation Department of the Western Australia Police operated two saloon-bodied examples as patrol cars.[11]
In March 1930, Barnato raced against the Blue Train in a Speed Six with H. J. Mulliner saloon coachwork, reaching his club in London before the train was due in the station at Calais. It had generally been believed that the car in the race was a Gurney Nutting Sportsman Coupé, but the coupé had been delivered to Barnato in May 1930, more than a month after the race.[14][15]
Factory racing cars[edit]
The racing version of the Speed Six had a wheelbase of 11 feet (132 in; 3,353 mm)[10] and an engine with a compression ratio of 6.1:1 that produced 200 hp (150 kW) at 3500 rpm.[16] Successful in racing, these cars won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1929 and 1930 with Bentley Boys drivers "Tim" Birkin, Glen Kidston, and Woolf Barnato, the Chairman of Bentley Motors.[17]
This is a recently finished commission for Universe/Classic Inferno. Inside his chest is the electronics/LED for his light bar (read headache to build so that they blink independently)
He was painted with lacquers (HOK:KK) and Testors enamels (MM) Ladder courtesy of tfctoys (gear of war set)
This third-party rendition of the ancient Transformer, Nova Prime, is pictured in his base unarmored robot mode. He is roughly deluxe scale.
This particular mode is the core mode of the base cab.
Produced by MakeToys as MT-03 Hyper Novae, this extensive remold of their Battle Tanker set was an exclusive to their website (or at least the clear amber bits on his wings and silver stickers are).
In addition to the brand new winged backpack, the inner robot is a pretty heavy retooling of the original RTS G2 Prime, so much so that it's a new figure. Many more pegs and hinges make the base figure much better overall.

Aunque todavÃa no me convencen mucho los transformers con modos alternos orgánicos, decidà adquirir a Cheetor para continuar con la lÃnea Henkei y no me arrepiento para nada, es una buena figura.

Although I'm not yet convinced about "organic transformers" toys, I decided to get Cheetor for completing the Henkei line and happily I'm very satisfied with this awesome figure.

Uno de los jets seekers. Es un repaint de Starscream. Para mÃ, son los que se parecen más a los personajes de la caricatura.
Se vendÃa en un sólo paquete con Ultra Magnus llamado "The Battle for Autobot City", el cual era exclusivo de la tienda Target, pero lo conseguà en eBay a un muy buen precio.

Kick-Off is a deluxe class Autobot from BotCon 2012. Pictured in robot mode.
Kick-Off, named Kick-Over on his Tech Spec, is a redeco of Generations Jazz with a new custom head. He is an homage to the Actionmaster of the same name.
This guy is easily my favorite from this year's set. The deco works great for this mold.

I always felt that Classics Omega Supreme needed his wings like the Generation 1 toy did. With this Armageddon Upgrade Kit from third-party toy producer, Maketoys; the big guy can get his wings. Pictured in robot mode.
The set is officially called Armageddon MCB-001, and outfits Omega with wings, a proper hand cannon (that also lights up), and a pair of cannons for his legs (which also light up).
I usually choose to leave off the cannons on his legs, but the wings will always be attached to his back.

La lÃnea classics reeditó a Soundwave el famoso personaje de la Generación 1 en un paquete conmemorativo que incluÃa a Ravage y Laserbeak, exclusivamente para la tienda Toys R' us.
Laserbeak es idéntico a la versión G1.
Una de las mejores compras que he hecho en eBay.
Ann Arbor Dance Classics 2014 Recital on Saturday June 14, 2014. The recitals will be held on Saturday June 14, 2014 and Sunday June 15, 2014 at Saline High School (Saline, Michigan). These are photos from my perch on Stage Right - stage managing again!
Thrust, the classic G1 conehead seeker, gets a general US release in the Generations line. Here he is in his in deluxe class robot mode.
I already have the Gentei! Gentei! Thrust from Japan, but this deco is the local release and actually more accurate to his classic design with the gold cockpit and darker burgundy. The burgundy also has a nice metallic swirl effect as well.
He has the same flexibility with the placement of his VTOL turbines and missile launchers like the Japanese figure.
Rehearsals for the Ann Arbor Dance Classics 2017 Recital on Wednesday June 14, 2017. The recitals will be held on Friday June 16 and Saturday June 17, 2017 at Saline High School (Saline, Michigan). These are photos from my perch on Stage Right - stage managing again (with a few from the house).
Classics Omega Supreme in his gigantic robot mode.
Platinum Edition "Year of the Snake" Omega Supreme is a slight redeco and remold of the Energon figure. I got this exclusive from Amazon.
You can combine both his split alternate modes into a very, very long "supertrain". Interesting, but a bit pointless.
Ann Arbor Dance Classics 2018 Recital on Saturday June 16th, 2018. The recital was held at Saline High School (Saline, Michigan). These are photos from my perch on Stage Right - stage managing again!
The final of the 3 classic Transformers G1 Decepticon seekers, Thundercracker, has arrived with a mass US release.
Pictured in fighter jet mode, this Thundercracker is by far the best of the jet figures I have. From the brilliant blue, great paint apps, and tight joints he's top notch.
On a side note, this toy also marks the final US release of a Henkei toy I bought at BotCon 2009. Now all 4 of those Henkei figures have been released stateside at a much cheaper price than what I had paid.
